Decent speed, but optimizing further could improve engagement.
Several missing protections leave your users and data exposed.
Several issues make your site difficult for assistive technology users.
Solid SEO basics — a few optimizations could boost rankings.
Solid infrastructure — fast server responses across the board.
Mostly compliant — a few items need attention.
Missing metadata means poor previews on social media and search.
Heavier than average — reducing page weight saves energy and bandwidth.
The overall score is a weighted average of individual category scores. Categories with more impact on user experience and security carry more weight.

Your site has several issues that may be affecting user experience and business outcomes. Your LCP of 15.4s exceeds Google's 2.5s 'Good' threshold and the 1 performance issue below directly contributes to it. Accessibility issues exclude users who rely on assistive technology — an estimated 15% of your potential audience. Addressing the critical issues below would have the most immediate impact on your user trust.
10 barrier(s) likely increasing bounce by ~33%.
Page takes 15.4s to load
+12% bounceUsers abandon at ~3s — you're 12.9s over the 2.5s threshold

Page feels frozen for 918ms
+5% bounceClicks on the primary CTA are ignored while JavaScript runs
Fix: Break up long tasks; defer non-critical JavaScript to post-hydration
No HSTS header
+1% bounceReturning visitors are briefly exposed to downgrade attacks on first request
Fix: Set Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains
No Content-Security-Policy header
+1% bounceHigher XSS blast radius — one compromised script can exfiltrate the checkout form
Fix: Ship a reporting-only CSP first, then enforce once violations are clean
Layout shifts during page load
+3% bounceContent movement causes mis-clicks on CTAs and form fields
Fix: Add width/height to images; reserve space for late-loading embeds
No Open Graph tags
+2% bounceLinks shared on LinkedIn / Slack / Facebook show bare URLs — referral clicks drop
Fix: Add og:title, og:description, og:image, og:url to the page head
No structured data
+2% bounceNo rich-result eligibility in Google — lower SERP CTR vs competitors with stars and prices
Fix: Add JSON-LD for your page type (Product, Article, FAQPage, LocalBusiness, …)
Thin content
+3% bounceUnder 300 words — visitors bounce looking for substance, search engines rank competitors first
Fix: Add a substantive FAQ, product detail, or case-study section
Content is hard to read
+2% bounceGraduate-level reading difficulty — limits the addressable audience for product or blog pages
Fix: Shorten sentences; replace jargon with plain language; target Flesch ease ≥60

Remove large, duplicate JavaScript modules from bundles to reduce unnecessary bytes consumed by network activity.

Polyfills and transforms enable older browsers to use new JavaScript features. However, many aren't necessary for modern browsers. Consider modifying your JavaScript build process to not transpile Baseline features, unless you know you must support older browsers. Learn why most sites can deploy ES6+ code without transpiling
Shipping ES5 transpiled code to modern browsers wastes bytes — every user with an evergreen browser pays for compatibility you don't need.
Most users today run browsers that natively support ES6+, async/await, optional chaining, and the rest of modern JavaScript. Transpiling to ES5 'just in case' adds 20-40% to your bundle for no benefit. Configure your build to target a modern browserslist, or ship a differential bundle pair (modern + legacy) with the module/nomodule pattern.

Reduce unused JavaScript and defer loading scripts until they are required to decrease bytes consumed by network activity. Learn how to reduce unused JavaScript.
Multi-megabyte JavaScript bundles delay every interactive feature on the page.
This is the Lighthouse audit fired when too much JS is shipped relative to what executes. The fix isn't a config flag — it requires bundle analysis (webpack-bundle-analyzer, rollup-plugin-visualizer), splitting routes into chunks, lazy-loading off-screen components, and removing unused dependencies. Fundamentally different from minification: minifying reduces byte count, this reduces what's downloaded at all.

Reduce unused JavaScript and defer loading scripts until they are required to decrease bytes consumed by network activity. Learn how to reduce unused JavaScript.
Multi-megabyte JavaScript bundles delay every interactive feature on the page.
This is the Lighthouse audit fired when too much JS is shipped relative to what executes. The fix isn't a config flag — it requires bundle analysis (webpack-bundle-analyzer, rollup-plugin-visualizer), splitting routes into chunks, lazy-loading off-screen components, and removing unused dependencies. Fundamentally different from minification: minifying reduces byte count, this reduces what's downloaded at all.
